Using participatory action research methods to address epistemic injustice within mental health research and the mental health system
In this paper, we describe a model of research practise that addresses epistemic injustice as a central objective, by valuing lived experience and addressing structural disadvantages. We set out here the processes we undertook, and the experiences of those involved in an attempt to transform research practise within a study known as Co-pact. We do not discuss the findings of the research. Rather, we wish to build expertise on how to address epist…
Black men’s conversations about mental health through photos
This paper presents findings from a photovoice project that was aimed at engaging with a diverse range of black men in a London Borough. The key objectives were to find a different way to get men to talk about their concerns and to raise awareness about mental health. Photovoice is a participatory research action technique that was developed to enable communities to document their concerns and experiences of community life that is meaningful to t…
Dementia
Dementia has been identified as a global challenge across the spectrum of health and social care (World Health Organisation. (2012) Dementia: A public health priority. Geneva: WHO). This paper will explore the implications of this for social work education and the challenges it poses. There is a lack of this focus on social work with older people and people with dementia (pwd) in social work education. Based on calls for an infusion of content on…
The Film Club
The use of film in teaching social work ethics presents a creative contemporary tool for social work educators. This paper reviews some of the evidence of the benefits of film as an approach to helping students explore ethics in social work practice. Insights from a pilot project, known as the Film Club, which looked at the use of film to teach ethics to social work students on an MSc Social Work programme, are presented. The paper comments on ho…
African and Caribbean men and mental health
The mental health needs of African and Caribbean men is an area for public concern. A substantial body of research shows that these groups are disproportionately represented in mental health statistics. For example, the Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection’s (2007) report on a one-day census of mental health inpatient wards in England paints a bleak picture for black and minority ethnic people, in particular those of African and Caribbe…
Training to redress racial disadvantage in mental health care
It has been acknowledged that the disparities and inequalities for black and minority ethnic (BME) communities in mental health in the United Kingdom (UK) has reached such proportions that it is considered a public health issue. This paper reviews training as one of the strategies that have been employed to address these inequalities and draws on a historical review and a scoping exercise in England which mapped approaches to race equality traini…
Fear, black people and mental illness
The relationships between black communities and the mental health (MH) services are fraught. Paradoxically, black communities receive the MH services they don't want, but not the ones they do or might want. Black people mistrust and often fear services, and staff are often wary of the black community, fearing criticism, and not knowing how to respond, are fearful of black people, in particular, young black men. The situation is fuelled by prejudi…
Abuse in mental health services
The mental health field is viewed by some as reluctant to tackle the problem of abuse. While ‘adult protection’ offers one way forward, the authors of this paper caution against over‐enthusiastic borrowing from this paradigm. Instead they argue that mental health services will only become intolerant of abuse when there is widespread acceptance of the role of power abuse in psychological distress and disturbance
